  I follow my mother to Sheng Siong supermarket, while my dad park his car by the carpark n read newspaper, n my sister also inside car play her psp, coz she bin dua, dun wanna follow.

  Then my mother choose veggies, as usual, must bring the veggies in those transparent bag to weighing counter n weigh.

  I keep going to the weighing counter a few times to let the auntie weigh my stuffs..weigh ginger, weigh dua tau chye etc. Later, my mum passed me this bag of baby eggplants.

  I see the auntie busy doing something nearby. So i decided to be pro-active, so the auntie won't be so busy mah. I decided to ownself take the plastic bag of eggplant n seal it myself n place it on the weighing machine swee swee, so all the auntie have to do is press the correct button n paste the label on it. Easy for her mah...

  anyway i see before many times the auntie seal the bag with the tape machine, looks easy. i sure can do one. Just have to take the plastic bag top n press it down thru the tape machine's opening.

  the tape machine -
  

  ok here goes, i took the bag of eggplant, the top part, n press it down thru the hole. Then when i pull it out, KNN CB! the plastic bag kenna stuck to the sticky tape. Die liao lah, i pull, n then the plastic bag ripped opened, n the long tape still stuck to it.

  i panicked n the eggplants almost dropped outta the ripped hole. i think i made the tape machine jammed. Then i pretend nothing happen, n the auntie saw me, n i gave her the bag with broken hole to weigh. Then i paiseh n said 'oops bag broken'

  She say nevermind n put the label over the hole to cover it lor. Haha, the bag not even sealed properly.

  Damn it, i so paiseh, i hope nobody saw me. Damn, i should've let the auntie do everything. It looks easy but when u do sure cockup one... maybe i was just suay lah.
  Hokkien say kiang tio hor, mai keh kiang. means that being smart is good enough, don't go n act smart.

  Later i see she use the tape machine to seal up groceries for another customer, waa heng ah the machine still working. if not i jialat lol.

  OK GUYS, REMEMBER HOR!! THE MORAL OF THIS STORY...DUN ACT SMART K? LET EXPERTS DO THEIR THING.... just like few days ago, got ppl start thread say they return their plates n tray at foodcourt (thinking that by doing do is being a good citizen), n then cleaning auntie tell them off.... coz i think auntie scared if everybody return their own plates n tray, then auntie outta job liao lor.

  today i learnt my lesson, lol

  no auntie then wait lor. anyway u r not suppose to weigh n label urself.

  coz what if some ppl buy $1.20/100gm australia brocoli, but go n press on the button for 'china kailan' which costs only $0.30/100gm ?

  Thats why Singapore's cashier at this kinda supermarket are real gems.  They actually have a measuring scale built into their cashier counter and can change the tags themselves.

  If they missed it, then its your good luck, but bad luck to others cos they have to increase the prices in future to cover the shorts.

  Its social grace.  as long as you dont cheat.  your conscience is clear.
